What I found to be very successful is Prankster Liepard, Skill Link Cicinno, and StallSweep Shield Dust Dustox(Roost, Quiver Dance, Iron Defense, Bug Buzz). I don't see what is the big fuss is about Beautifly; a Dustox can pull its weight against a Metagross.

Oh my god.. Dustox is awful for me.. and the ability shield dust is useless with it...

i'm very curious about this. if a pokemon with the ability technician is to attack using acrobatics while holding no item, does the base power boosts by x1.5 first due to its ability then double due to no item or vice versa? if it is the former case, then acrobatics delivers whooping 165 power, not including STAB or flying gem

Sorry for double posts..
However I have another question about the other leaders with electric type and grass type pokčmon.What king of pokemon I have to use to destroy the power of water and electro?
Ps: Can you tell me your best team for PWT?

Well, with a water team, teaching Starmie Thunderbolt is the best thing you can do. Gastrodon would need Grass Knot if you're willing to teach it that too. For other electric types, your Kingdra will be your best bet, not being weak to them. But the rest will have trouble. I went with a rain team using Politoed, with variations of Magnezone, Tornadus, Ludicolo, Breloom and Dragonite to win the tournaments. The only problem with using rain is that other leaders can easily take advantage of your free weather, notably Juan and Clair, so you need to be careful with that. My team performed very well, though that's no surprise with Drizzle.

=D Thank you bro ;p can you tell me an alternative team instead a rain dance team?

Oh, there are many alternatives you could use, though I haven't tried much with others. Since you can do these tournaments is Doubles and Triples, you could experiment with that. I'd suggest a Trick Room team for Doubles, though I don't know how effective that is against anyone.

Well, the trainers in PWT don't switch out pokemon doing battle. So that gives me time to let Liepard paralyze or trick iron ball. After my liepard dies, I set up with Dustox. Hey look, it can take down a team of dragons.

This link here gives rather simple explanation of EV's and the ways that reduce how many of a single pokemon you need to KO to train quickly. At the bottom you have the best places to train for each stat. You may need to resort to breeding for natures, though, to increase your team's potential.

Did anyone else notice that Nintendo apparently messed up on one of the tournament distributions again? I just saw this on Pokemon.com (I do not believe it has come to the attention of Serebii.net yet, as it has not appeared in the news feed):

Note: The initial distribution of the “2012: Masters Division Challenge” tournament data for the Pokémon World Tournament contained inaccurate team information for one of our World Championship players. In order to ensure that this player’s team is properly represented, we have fixed the data, and it can now be downloaded at the Pokémon World Tournament.

If you have already downloaded the original “2012: Masters Division Challenge,” you can download the updated tournament data “2012 Masters Division Challenge” and play against this world-class team of Pokémon. Note the updated name—the correct download does not have a colon after 2012 in the title.

Not sure if anyone's discovered this before...but you can manipulate the mix rotation battles (haven't tried the other battles yet) to get the AI to pick a certain Pokemon.

I first discovered this when I jokingly took my lv 100 EV trained virizion, newly hatched geodude, UT lv 35 reversal mountain volcarona and newly hatched wurmple into the mix rotation PWT.
In the first matchup, the NPC (think it was Clay) picked my geodude and I thought 'phew, thank goodness he took an UT pokemon, if virizion got picked there's no way I'd win.'
In my second and third matchup, the AI took my volcarona twice.

When I tried again in the tournament with virizion, budew, volcarona and wurmple, the AI picked Volarona every single time. I'm starting to think that the game picks a pokemon of yours that has the best type advantage against your entire team, regardless of their stats.
This means that you can essentially trick the AI into receiving a useless Pokemon (or at least a weak, UT pokemon). It IS kind of risky because if you take a team of three that's weak to another type and your opponent happens to have that type, you may have a bad time. But assuming your fourth 'useless' pokemon is taught a rubbish movepool and is completely untrained, you're basically fighting 4 to 3, which I guess might be beneficial. I think I may make my team virizion, volacrona, heracross and pidgeotto, and teach pidgeotto some useless moves.
